Ideas for Growing a Small Business

Tips on getting loans and managing money

Are you one of the thousands of local small business owners? Or are you considering starting your own company? If so, it’s important to make sound financial decisions. You can get some solid advice from a FDIC publication called “Consumer News”. You’ll find tips for small business owners on topics ranging from financing your operations to managing your accounts.

This may be the best advice ever: get a head start with business experts who can help you. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) provides education and counseling through a variety of programs and partners. The SBA’s help includes online training, Web chats for small business owners, and referrals to local classes and confidential counseling. Topics range from writing a business plan to qualifying for a loan. Check with your SBA district office or visit www.sba.gov.
